Q

Neurological rt Post op spina

A

Check finger+ toes, rooting
Chek ICP
VP shunt: drains out the fluid and decrease ICP
Hydrocephalus: pressure cause brain/skull seen in myelomeningcole pts look for ICP increased, blocked shunt, leaking CSF, head circumference

Q

Hydrocephalus ( define/ s+s)

A

increased fluid in ventricles they route CSF in brain.causing the ventricles to enlarge which puts pressure on the brain tissue resulting in brain damage

support family
can breastfeed with adaptations to stimulate deeding and mom pumps
meet infant sucking need with pacificer usage during g tube
Feed upright

Q

Complications rt cleft lip (4)

A

Aspiration pneumonia
FTT
Decreased bonding
Infections (ear + respiratory)

17
Q

Post Op care rt cleft lip (7)

A

Positioning SUPINE ONLY

Logan Bow/bar = protect inscions - remove during feedings

Rinse mouth after feeding, incsion+ wound care
Arm restraints to prevent touching of site
HOB up (infant seat) help decrease swelling / propped on side
Feeding resumes when cleared
NO SPOONS ( requires movement of lips)
Prevent crying (bonds+ pain meds)

18
Q

Post-op complications rt cleft lip + plate (5)

A

Infection (ear+ lung dt opening)
Disruption of suture line
Speech problems
FTT
nutrition alterations

19
Q

Cleft Palate

A

Incomplete closure of palate @9 weeks gestation

20
Q

Surgical interventions (cleft palate)

A

Between 1-2 1/2
Before speech patterns

21
Q

Preop Cleft Palate (think about feeding)

A

BURP MORE FREQUENTLY
Retainer; special nipple for feeding
Long, soft nipples and bottles ( plastic or silicone spoon)
May use GT ensure adequate intake

22
Q

Post Op Cleft Palate

A

Oral care, protect site
Pain relief , no specially postion requirements
No-No ( restraints)
Games to develop speech/word
SOFT foods . careful with spoon

23
Q

Tracheoesophageal Fistula and Esophageal Atresia

A

TEF: abnormal connection between upper part of esophagus and trachea/windpipe
EA: when upper part of esophagus does not connect with lower esophagus/stomach

24
Q

S/s of TEA + EA

A

3 C’s = cough, choking, cyanosis with first feed
Frothy saliva in mouth _nose, drooling
Monitor first fed stop immediately notify MD
Respiratory Distress during feeding
Abdominal distention
Aspiration pneumonia
IVF, G tube

25
Q

Pyloric Stenosis:

A

hypertrophy (enlargement of muscle around sphincter) and hyperplasia (enlargement
of tissue) of pyloric sphincter
decreases flow of food through pylorus from stomach to duodenum

26
Q

S/S of Pyloric Stenosis

A

3wks: regurgitation of breast + formula

-4-6wks: projectile vomiting in healthy infant (up to 3hrs after eating), no bile in vomit
- May progress to malnutrition, metabolic alkalosis hypokalemia , dehydration (sunken fonatlle)
, FTT ( nto retaining anything)
- May feel olive sized firmness at pylorus Palpable right epigastric region ( hypertriphied pllorus )
- See waves of peristalsis across abdomen

27
Q

Treatment Pyloric Stenosis (3)

A

Least invasive to first
1. thickened foods, elevated 30 minute after eating

  1. Endosopcic dilation = ballon inserterd to expand opening
  2. Laparoscopic plyrmyotomy : cuts muscle thru abdomen
28
Q

Nurse Dej job POST OP rt Pyloric Stenosis (6)

A

-Fluid and electrolyte balance

-Daily weights

  • Meet infant needs: bonding, pain relief
  • Oral feedings immediately after surgery (Breastfeed/formula)

Clear liquids and advance as tolerated ( 1/2 strength then full stength )

  • No pacifier, Burp well- decrease air intake
29
Q

HT rt pyloric stenosis Post op

A

Vomiting is normal
S/S dehydration , resuming BF/formula
Infection HRF SEPSIS

30
Q

Hirschsprung’s Disease:

A

lack of normal peristalsis due to absence of autonomic parasympathetic
ganglion cells; No movement in bowels, leads to retention of stool, distention of bowels ( mechanical obstruction)

31
Q

S/S rt Hirschsprung’s Disease (7)

think about newborns for first s/s!

A

Distended abdomen
Feeding intolerance
Billious vomit ( key difference)
Delay in passage of meconium
Constipation
Ribbon like stools
Enterocoliits

32
Q

Nursing Responsibilities: Hirschsprung’s Disease Post Op

define

A

Removal of intestine+ Temporary colostomy.

S+S of wound infection + bowel obstruction
Appetite
Abdomen
Weight
Colostomy ( red+pink)

33
Q

Intussusception:

A

telescoping of a portion of the intestine into an adjacent portion; common at six months to 6 yrs

compression on blood vessels leading to possible necrosis

34
Q

Intussusception s/s (5)

A

sudden onset of abdominal cramp pain
bilious vomiting
tender distended abdomen at umblical area
currant jelly stool ( purple color , dark red), mucousy
LOOSE SCANT STOOLS

35
Q

Tx of Intusssuscpetion

A

Liquid or air enema to “reopen intenstines” (ASAP)
Surgical repair if doesnt work
